Abstract

A secondary alert light for a motor vehicle is composed of a light holder, a light convergence ring and light emission devices. Wherein, positioning posts protruding from a reflection cover on the light holder secures the light convergence ring which is light permeable having on one side provided with fluorescent material to collect the light, provided with posts to match those on the reflection cover and at least two grooves on its peripheral at equal spacing to house light emission devices for the light convergence ring collecting light emitted from the light emission devices by means of the light convergence material to create a significant light ring for improving alert effect.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim:  
     
       1. A secondary alert light for motor vehicles comprising a light holder with a reflection cover, a light convergence ring and multiple light emission devices characterized by that: 
       two or more than two positioning posts being provided on the reflection cover of the light holder to secure the light convergence ring which is light permeable; and fluorescent material for light convergence being provided on one side of the periphery of the light convergence ring; two or more than two positioning posts formed on the periphery of the light convergence ring to match those on the light holder, and two or more than two positioning grooves being arranged at equal spacing on the surface of the circumference of the light convergence ring to house the light emission devices;  
       thus, the light convergence ring collecting light from the light emission devices by means of the light convergence material provided on its periphery to create a significant light ring by the light of the motor vehicle to produce an alert effect.  
     
     
       2. A secondary alert light for motor vehicles as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein, each of the light emission devices comprises a light emission diode. 
     
     
       3. A secondary alert light for motor vehicles as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein, one side of the circumference of the light convergence ring is slightly concave to receive light convergence material. 
     
     
       4. A secondary alert light for motor vehicles as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein, the light convergence material comprises a fluorescent coating or sticker. 
     
     
       5. A secondary alert light for motor vehicles as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein, the light convergence material comprises a fluorescent coating or sticker. 
     
     
       6. A secondary alert light for motor vehicles as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein, in a mold injection process, the material of the light convergence ring is blended with the light convergence material.
